The New Normal in Caring for Children in the Dental Office

 

Abstract

The Coronavirus has thrown everyone for a loop. Families and children, people of all ages, and businesses have had to scramble for ways to deal with this unparalleled pandemic. Pediatric dental practices have been affected as much or even more losing most of our hands-on, face to face, fun approaches we take in connecting with children and their parents. In the past, we welcomed children into our reception areas to play, and to be around their families and other kids in a child friendly setting. Most, if not all of that, is gone. Families are checked in by phone; they fill out the paperwork and pay electronically; they are limited in coming into the office; they wait in their car. Parent and children cannot see the smiling faces of the administrative and clinical teams. We are anonymous. There are no games to play. There is no time to get adjusted to the office. All that stuff has been taken away because anything they can play with is a possible source of infection. We have to social distance They go directly from their cars to the treatment rooms and home. No high fives smiles and hugs.

Reciprocal Canine Distalisation

 

Abstract

Orthodontists have increasingly shown more interest in the problem of retracting permanent canines. This dental movement is necessary in space closure of the arch for resolving different orthodontic problems. Very often, the extraction of first bicuspids is necessary in cases where there is severe crowding due to a discrepancy in tooth size and jaw size. First bicuspid extraction followed by separate cuspid retraction may also be indicated in cases of dento-alveolar sagittal anomalies such as excessive dental protrusion of the upper and/or lower teeth. Separate canine retraction may be accomplished with elastic chains, NiTi compression springs, lacebacks, Poul Gjessing (PG) canine retraction spring, rare earth magnets or distraction osteogenesis. These tend to tax anchorage. Headgears or orthodontic implants may be used for anchorage enhancement. Turning the wheel back and improvising the age-old technique of moving teeth with open coil springs, the authors have devised this economical, intra-oral, biomechanically efficient anchorage conserving technique of canine Distalisation, with minimal increase in routine orthodontic armamentarium and patient co-operation, the reciprocal retraction of canines with the use of open coil springs. There is no published literature on reciprocal canine distalisation for an entire premolar width.

Rotary Systems Versus Manual K-File System in Primary Molar Root Canals - In Vitro Study

 

Abstract

Aim: To evaluate and compare the cleaning ability between two, rotary shaper and manual K-files in primary molar root canals.

Material and method: Twenty extracted maxillary and mandibular primary molars and 10 mm length were cleaned in water and stored in 0.5% sodium hypochlorite for 1 week. Caries excavation was done. Coronal access was made. After irrigation of the root canal with normal saline, a K-file with a compatible diameter was introduced into the root canal and the canal length was determined. A K-file size #15 was introduced into the root canal and 1 ml Indian ink was injected into the orifice. The roots were then randomly divided into 2 groups.
